A Bad Condition of Things.

Precisely what the controversy between
the Taxpayers of Belfast and the Tsxreducers
abvutib IN iivtoaey 10 sovct tain. THO Dell
fast papers throw little light on the subject,
either taking it for granted that it is gener-
ally understood or deeming it of no conse-
quence that it should be outside of Belfast.
But though the subject matter of the fight is
obscure, there is no doubt of the fight itself.
That has been bitter and vigorous enough
to attract attention all over the State. The
Taxreducers won by very narrow majority
on mayor, but by substantial majority on
city council and If the Journal correctly de-
scrbes the character Of the forces arrayed
against them they ought to have won by a
much bigger majority. On the side of the
Taxreducers, according to this paper, were
''the men who have stake in the commune
ty, farmers, those who ownItheir homes, and
have nothing to gain by high taxes, and are
fighting the battles Of ring actuated by
mercenary motives and the spirit Of re-
venge;'' while to offset the votes of these
men the Taxpayers ''relied ON free rum,
drugged In some instances, it Is believed,
with physician in attendance to avoid ia
tai results" and money furnished by the
Liquor Dealers Association of Massachu-
sets. Here is the Journals description of
the city on election day, and the day before,
which was Sunday:
The Taxpayers were ably assisted by the rum
shops. Saturday their heelers distributed tickets
bearing the words GOOD Tor ten cents" which
were redeemable in liquor at any of the Taxpayer
rumsh0ps. All the rum shops were wide open
Sunday and tar into the night and many disgrace
FIJI scenes were witnessed on the streets. Mothers
went out in search of and brought home drunken
sons Men were made drunk and hiyed up in Of
fees or kept in rum shops until the polls were
omen and then voted. All day the saloons were
busy and put in good work Tor their side, but many
TAX PAYERS when Ii ey saw the rum element and
certain church people az work qand IN hand, lett
that side in disgust and voted IN opposition.
1t may not be impertinent to ask how 1t is
that Belfast rumselIers are thus allowed, not
only to keep open their shops, bat to keep
them open on Sunday right in the face and
ewes of the authorities and the public-Belfast

The Portland daily press., 1887-03-18

1he point made by the opponents of a
State commerce law similar to the law pass
cd by Congress that it was too late in the
session to consider the subject intelligently
was a good one. For half dozen years
Congress has been at work on a measure OF
this kind, and Notwithstanding the long time
spent on the subject it has produced law
which nobody pretends to understand.
What kind of measure then could have been
expected from the Maine legislature after
considering the subject few hours? One
no doubt that would have done much more
harm than good. This is by no means saying
that no law regulating the railroads is need
ed, it is only saying that the matter is toe
intricate and too important 20 be properly
attended to in the confusion of the last hours
of legislative session.

The Rev. Justin ID. Fulton has resigned
his pastorate In order to devote his whole
time to the conversion of the Catholics In
his letter of resignation he says:
Six millions directed by the Pope and ruled by
the desp0tism Of Rome are controlling sixty mil
lions OF so-called free Americans and the worst is
not yet. They dominate the press; take charge
OF our postal facilities, occupy seats upon our
benches OF justice, and are in absolute control of
some of the largest and most influential cities of
the land. With Paul, am compelled to declare
that II is my bounden duty to leave my pleasant
surroundings and go unattended and alone to
in me lies, preach the gospel also TO those who
are in Rome. And now, behold CO. bound In
the spirit unto this work. which few are willing
either to undertake or become identified with.
Mr.. Fulton takes an altogether too melan-
choly view of the situation, and his state
ments are not substantiated by the facts.
six millions directed by the Pope are not
controlling sixty millions of so-called free
Americans. Catholics do not dominate
the press. Some of them do assist in for
wardiDg and distributing our mails, but this
is the first time it was ever claimed that the
liberties Of the American people were endaf-
gered by that fact. 1t is the attitude Of the
Catholics toward the public school system
that constitutes the really menacing feature
of their policy, but they are by no means so
united in that as they were some years ago.
The power of the priesthood over their con-
gregations has weakened too within the last
quarter of century.

A correspondent of the Argus, after medi-
tatlng on the subject for ten days, writes a
letter to that paper to tell how it was that
Mr.. Mccarthy was defeated. He thinks the
cause is to be looked for chiefly in the big
otry and intolerance of the Democratic par
ty. 1t is eminently fitting that the case
should be diagnosed by Democratic doctors,
and their report be made through the col
umns of the Argus. Let the good work go

We don't know just how much reliance is
to be placed on the report of the engineers
employed by the Engineering News to in
vestigatc the Forest Hills disaster, but its
conclusions are certainly in accord with the
probabilities. There can be little doubt
that the giving way of the bridge was the
primary cause of the disaster, and not a
broken axle. But whether the breakage
was the result of adefect in the iron or due
to faulty construction is yet to be definitely
settled. The report made to the Engineer
ing News indicates that it was due to these
causeg combined

In the New York Assembly the other
night the two parties were given an opportu-
nifty to put themselves on record on the rum
question, and they did it. The opportunity
came on motion to pass the Crosby high Ii

Why the question of the employment of

1t is hard to say. But the Democratic men,
bers Of the Senate chose to treat it as such
yesterday and voted solidly against the ju-

to relieve free labor as much as possible from
the competition of prison work OF course
they got on the wrong side of the
question, as they always do when they fol-

The testimony at the investigation of the
Forest Hills disaster yesterday, was very
damaging to the railroad company, and if it
cannot be refuted then the officers of the
company must be held guilty of criminal
carelessness. 1t appears that man having
noticed that the bridge was in bad condition,
that nuts were loose and rods gone, went to
the superintendent Office and informed that
officer of the condition of things The SUI
perintendent said it should be attended to.
1t was not attended to, and the man went a
second time and was CURLY informed, not by
the superintendent, but by man in his Of
fee, that if he was afraid Of the bridge he
had better walk. If a jury ever gets at the

will break through all the restraints sough

The City Council decided that it would be
better to fix the rate of interest ON the new
bonds at per cent. rather than at 8. 1t is to
be assumed that they chose the former be-
cause they thought that the loan could not
be floated at par at the latter. Judge
Goddard thinks they were wrong and be-
lieves that 3 per cent. loan could have been
readily disposed Of. Mr.. T. C. Woodbury.
